Embossing paste



I did get round to it!! This is the technique that I was shown in my local craft shop. I am pleased with the results but not the photo. It is just no good using the flash. It did take me two attempts to get it right the first time I moved the paste around the stencil too much and it ended up smudging. On the second attempt I ran the paste down the stencil and tried not to over work the paste.

It looks lovely. Really lovely colours. I did a short workshop with Lynell of Dreamweaver some time last year and she said exactly what you have written - load the knife, swipe down the stencil and don't be tempted to work it. Seems like you have the knack already!

Love the affect you have got with the glitter, I'm going to have to try that, it's beautiful.
